Hey 5th Grade!
Announcements:
- This week we are taking the California Smarter Balanced Assessment. We had 1 test today and will test again on Thursday Morning and Friday morning/afternoon. Please make sure students are coming to school well rested and a full belly!
- THIS Wednesday (May 6th) is a Half Day! Please plan for early 12 o’clock dismissal.
- GEOGRAPHY- States & Capitals- Each week, students are tested on the spelling and location of US States and Capitals. These geography tests are on the History tracker and will count towards your child’s history grade for the quarter! These are important! Please encourage your child to study each night and practice the SPELLING of the state and capital as well. If they pass all tests, they get to participate in an ice cream party at the end of the year!
- I am meeting with each child this week for their MID QUARTER CHECK-IN. Please look for this purple paper in your child’s folder to see what they have not turned in yet and/or is missing. Thank you for helping your child at home!
